10 Year Health Plan for England

The Department of Health and Social Care is implementing a 10-year strategic plan to reform the English NHS, covering primary care delivery models, integrated care board functions, data infrastructure, and neighbourhood health services. The plan addresses workforce recognition for allied health professions, GP contract reform including the Carr-Hill formula review, and mechanisms to redirect GP referrals back to primary care. This is an active, multi-year transformation programme affecting NHS structure, funding, and service delivery across England.
